Dear WG, In response to the announcement made on Fri 29/09/2017 11:58 regarding NEW PROPOSAL: 2017-02, "Regular abuse-c Validation" I would like to bring forward for your consideration: The proposed new policy text '... In cases where the "abuse-mailbox:" contact attribute is invalid, the RIPE NCC will follow up with the resource holder and attempt to correct the issue.' implies that RIPE NCC will attempt to correct the issue. Consider "In cases where the "abuse-mailbox:" contact attribute is [add: marked as] invalid, the RIPE NCC will follow up with the resource holder and [remove: attempt] [add: require him] to correct the issue." Furthermore: Since you are stating in the rationale "If organisations are not cooperative, the RIPE NCC ultimately has the possibility to close their RIPE NCC membership and deregister their Internet number resources". This ultimate possibility is not described in the current policy (ripe-563) and maybe part of the overarching agreements. Do the overarching agreements contain notification standards and timelines? If not, do these need to be incorporated in the amended ripe-563? My 2 cents.
